Adams went missing for more than a week after he was investigating smoke in the Jemez Mountains in August. Investigators say at some point, he was in an ATV accident. After an extensive search of surrounding areas, search crews found Adams' body on the morning of Aug. 6.

Adams, who served a lengthy and successful career in public service, first serving in the Navy as a Navy Seal, also worked in firefighting for more than a decade, serving the Bass Lake Ranger District and then as a Kings River Hot Shot. He and his family have lived in New Mexico for the last year and a half working for the U.S. Forest Service.

The 41-year old leaves behind a pregnant wife and a 3-year old son.

The memorial will begin at 8 a.m. in Rio Rancho where firefighters and public service men and women will line the streets to honor Adams. At 9:15 a.m., those in attendance will leave in a procession for Calvary on Osuna Road NE. The actual service will begin at 10 a.m.

Action 7 News will be at the service and will have more coming up tonight on Action 7 News at 5, 6 and 10 p.m.
